and here you had candidate at the very top of the ticket mitt romney with paul ryan who's budget would decimate the pell grant program, right? and clayborn pell was a democrat, but it was always a program that had bipartisan support. >> what has changed in america, and hopefully will change back what democrats are champion is a way to level the playing field, not to give handouts but to give hands up. so it's to make sure if kids are poor -- they can't ask their parents to pay for their education -- >> bill: that's the mitt romney approach. >> their parents would love to but if you don't have the economic wherewithal you need it from somewhere else. if you cut the education like the paul ryan budget did, how do you have in urban or rural places, where you have poverty how do you make sure kids have enrichment courses, music, art, and what kids in private schools have, so it's enabling opportunity. it is levelling the playing field, enabling people to be able to reach and actually share -- actually reach for pos parity. >> bill: yeah, and that was clearly president obama's agenda. i was

paul ryan voted for it. so you know, i'm not saying democrats are blameless here or don't deserve some of the responsibility but the idea that republicans are washing their hands and saying this is a white house ploy is completely wrong. >> bill: i was at the white house friday when president obama came into the east room and made a very short speech. very clear about what his plan is and what he wanted. here's the president with one challenge to members of congress. >> obama: i'm open to compromise. i'm open to new ideas. i'm committed to solving our fiscal challenges. but i refuse to accept any approach that isn't balanced. >> bill: what does he mean by that? >> balanced. he's saying first of all it's not just spending cuts. it has to be revenues as well. second, he's rejecting the john boehner approach which is boehner saying i'll agree to revenues as long as they come as a result of economic growth. in other words, we won't legislate changes in taxes. we'll hope that revenues go up. he's saying no, that

but, of course, paul ryan ever in denial says don't read too much into obama's victory. >> i don't think so because they -- the house republicans. whether people intended or not we've got divided government. >> bill: he says obama didn't have any mandate because they still have the house of representatives. get out of here, dude. come on. president obama, what do you want, president obama won the popular vote, three and a half million. he won the electoral college by 126-vote margin. that's pretty substantial. he won eight out of nine battleground states. only lost north carolina by less than 100,000 votes. democrats picked up, held on to the senate and everybody said they were going to lose it. not only held on to the senate, picture up two seats in the senate and democrats picture up eight to ten seats -- some seats are still not called yet. in the house of representatives. so it was a romp for democrats. they didn't take back control of the house. but there's no doubt about it. the american people rejected romney and ryan. all right. talk about good democratic members of the congress,

i think they needed paul ryan on board. romney liked paul ryan but the campaign -- the only campaign that gave them a chance to win was blaming obama for everything that happened and being as vague as possible about the alternative, right. saying the economy is bad people are arguing in washington, we'll make it better. they didn't have any support for their specific alternatives. they didn't want to make it a contest or specific vision so they needed ryan on board in a way. but they didn't want people examining their alternative. >> john: i think you're right. what do you think is next for the g.o.p. and what do you think we can expect in the weeks to come with the fiscal cliff struggle? >> this is also something i've written about quite a bit. i don't expect a lot of cooperation between the parties in the second term except immigration reform. on the fiscal issue it is different. the republicans just have to make a deal with obama because the absent of the deal, they get way, way worse than nothing. they opposed almost ev

we know where paul ryan is. the republican party platform says. no exceptions whatsoever. americans don't buy that. >> they don't buy it when you look at the exit polls. we saw an overwhelming majority saying that abortion -- women should have access and should remain legal. roe v. wade should remain in place. if you look at this kind of new electorate and of course, that's where the republicans really ran into trouble. they didn't realize the obama coalition, hispanics women african-americans, young people would come out in the numbers that they did in 2008. that's why all of the polling numbers failed so if that coalition is here to stay, then on average those groups are more pro-choice than the old electorate older whiter people, mccain romney voters. and so in that sense the country seems to be changing. and of course, we have four more years of not only pro-choice policies but a stronger pro-choice bench on the supreme court, it's going to, i think be even harder for pro-life to make inroads nationwide. now on the state level that's a different story. to go state by s
